"Not AI-generated" stamp
chaoticlua
After exchanging a few letters with someone new (let's say 10k words total), one could have the option of rating this pen pal as someone who likely doesn't use AI to write their letters. If someone is rated by 10 people, they get a "Possibly not AI-generated" stamp. If they are rated by 20, "Probably not AI-generated," and so on, until 50 ratings. They can put those stamps as their favorite in their profile, so people feel more confident in exchanging letters with that person.

Support. Would not divide by categories though, but after 10-20-30 confirmations would be eligible for this stamp.

Oh I’ve received so many letters which looked like AI generated…

Maieve same here, i’ve started using ai detectors because it got creepy and i had to remove someone for using ai… so i think there should be some sort of built in detector.
Maieve
tehenadia can you recommend me this detector?

Maieve same, I'd say 98% of the letters I get are generated. Has become easy to detect them

Someone was really vile to me, they sent some human letters first and then an AI took over.
They even sent me a WhatsApp number with a profile picture from a real woman (who was totally not related to the Slowly account, but I only realized that much later).
I know there are AI scammers on here and I am cautious about that, so I reverse-searched her picture from WhatsApp and found real scientific papers from her from 2018, so I knew the woman is a person that does indeed exist and that made me trust the scammer.
But it didn't stop there, I later realized that the scammer had even set up a website in her name to get money from people and they had set up fresh social media profiles with her public images on LinkedIn, X and Instagram to impersonate her. All of those had just recently been created and made it look real. A very elaborate scam that I was only able to break out of when the dumb AI caught itself in a loop and constantly praised me for the most mundane things (and then started to more or less beg for money).
I'm a developer and I work in IT and I still fell for it, these AI bots (and the criminals running them) can seriously harm people.
It was one of the worst experiences I ever had on here and it made me stop writing letters for quite a while. The amount of work someone would go through to do such a thing is just insane.
The verification system clearly doesn't work, because most people don't use it. But this idea is genius and I really hope Slowly implements it. They just have to make sure that AI bots cannot write hundreds of letters to each other and rate themselves, there would have to be some kind of vetting system. Maybe verified users can rate other users first and those that are possibly not AI can then rate more users as not AI.

That's low-key good
